“Anna was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She communicated clearly and consistently, sending updates and photos after each visit. She was patient and attentive to both of our kitties’ individual needs, showing genuine care and compassion. She truly went above and beyond—we highly recommend!”


About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born! We had yorkies, a cocker spaniel, boxer, and my family currently has had our lab-golden retriever mix for the last 9 years. I just moved into a new building, where you can’t have a dog for the first 2 years so I am jonesing to hang out with some pups until then! I work from home and I’m currently in my off-season so I have plenty of time to spend with your beloved pet! Give me a reason to go outside when it gets colder :) I will always take the utmost safety of your pet into consideration when walking, and I will be very respectful of your home and your space.

I will care for your pet depending on your guidelines and your little pal's needs! I can walk the dog around the neighborhood, in a park, or let them out in the yard! Cats' litter box will be maintained daily and changed every 2-3 days, or as needed. Any reptile tanks will be maintained daily to remove any waste. If apart of their usual routine, I can grant your reptile some time outside the cage and hold them/let roam under supervision.


About: I am a very outgoing and nature loving person, which is what makes me love animals so much. They give me energy to enjoy life along with them. I have taken care of almost every breed of dog, fish, some cats, and reptiles. From my 10 years of experience, their is not one able to resist my charm. I have owned pets sense 5 years of age and adored every one until their passing. I will love all animals as if it was my own. Dogs have a great sense of character, good and bad. They will show you how they feel in body language. To be the best I keep my astonishing personality that animals love I possess. I have also been in the customer service field for over 10 years, by juggling multiple jobs. Every job you have to deal with customers at some point. Which gave me exceptional people skills. Such as, communication, active listening, technical knowledge, patience, tenacity, and adaptability. I am the whisperer for animals, I understand everyone needs. At your service for all services when needed! I work from home majority of the day so, I have time to give your animal my complete active attention.

I give all hands on love and support to the animal. I am caring for your animal like my own for your service time. They are my priority, when on the job. I conduct myself professionally at all times.


“Leaving another five star review to thank Dayanara for her services. She did an amazing job giving us peace of mind for our two cats while we were away for a couple weeks on vacation. She double checked our automated water and feeder were always topped up, and went out of her way to make sure our automatic vacuum was seated properly in it's dock. I haven't trusted anyone else on any platform to watch my cats for the past few years and we're beyond lucky she was still available this past month. Thanks Dayanara!”


“Ricardo is fabulous. I have a rescue that is very skeptical but took to Ricardo quickly. He follows my wishes and I’m very grateful to have him taking such good care of bingo!”


“Our dogs can be a little difficult. Two of them are seniors and one is a rescue puppy who is very insecure. Don did an exceptional job of taking care of them and we’re grateful to him for his conscientious care of our babies.”


“Caitlyn is kind and caring ! She was punctual , and even arrived a little earlier :) Milo was very happy in all of the photos she sent me. I know he had a great time playing with her. She was attentive and communicated with me during the visit. I will definitely book with Caitlyn again to care for Milo :) He was in good hands 🥰”

About: I’m from Ireland and here for the summer. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and cared for my senior dog until he passed last December. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and also help with my brother’s two Rottweilers, so I’m confident with big dogs and love being active outdoors! I’m here from Ireland for the summer and currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your dog. I’m flexible and happy to help with walks, drop-ins, or just some company for your pup during the day! I always treat pets like family and follow any instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and happy in their home. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine, and I’ll always send updates so you know they’re in good hands.

“Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!”


About: After many wonderful years with my emotionally complex (and deeply loved) shepherd, I’ve learned more from dogs than any book could ever teach. I'm now ready to share that experience with your pup—whether they’re joyful and energetic, shy and anxious, or living with physical limitations. I understand canine body language, behavior, and emotional needs. I let dogs set the pace—literally! Whether that means a calm house visit, a brisk jog, or a sandy beach walk, I adapt to what your dog enjoys most. Options I offer: Standard neighborhood walks Beach walks (great for dogs who love water and open space!) Runs/jogs for high-energy dogs (I can even bike or skate if your dog needs a little extra) Walk with a friend (super friendly blonde Yochon doggy in my pics) House visits and companionship Special care for dogs with emotional or physical challenges Let your best friend walk me—and rest easy knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I work from home every day and don't have a boss. My schedule is very relaxed, and I take frequent breaks, which usually involve walks on the boardwalk/beach. I live on the 2nd floor of a duplex with little furniture, so my place is very safe for pets. Not much to chew on or bang into.

“Julina is amazing and I wish I could give her 100 stars. She's taken care of my Samoyed previously and always done an amazing job. She's responsive, friendly, and sends frequent updates including photos. My dog is always well cared for when return. But I am especially grateful to her for her dependability, flexibility, and kindness. I was recently admitted to the hospital due to a medical emergency for a full week, and so caring for my dog during that time was a huge stress. I eventually reached out to Julina, and despite the immediacy of my request, she was more than willing to help. Words cannot express how much of a relief it was to know that my dog was being taken care of by great hands while I was in the hospital, and the photos she sent always brightened my day.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and naturally connect with them. I’m patient, calm, and always adjust to each dog’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or older and need a gentler approach. Your pup will be safe, loved, and treated like family. I’m a part-time college student, so I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to spend with your pups! I’m available for sitting on weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays between 7AM–4PM. I also offer overnight stays if your dog needs a little extra company and care. When I’m staying in someone’s home, I keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible. I give them lots of attention, make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime and just hang out with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m clean and super respectful of your space, and I’ll always treat your pup like they’re my own while you’re away.

“Aimee is an exceptional pet sitter who consistently goes above and beyond to provide outstanding care for our furry family members. While we were away on retreat, she meticulously looked after our two huskies and senior cat, providing frequent updates and pictures that gave us immense peace of mind. Aimee demonstrated great capability and confidence in handling our two 75 lb huskies during their walks, and it's clear she possesses a calm demeanor that resonates with animals. Her professionalism, trustworthiness, and dedication are evident in the loving care she provides to our animals, treating them with the same attention she gives her own.

Maya V.
“To whom it may concern, I recommend Maya Voytelmgum be approved as a house/pet sitter and dog walk for your organization, Rover. Last summer for about 2 weeks, she took care of my mother’s senior Shih Tzu, Nikki. Throughout the 2 weeks, Maya fed Nikki her meals. My mother required her to add some protein and vitamins to the dog kibble, which Maya did with no problem. Additionally, she also took Nikki out for a walk twice a day, as well as cleaned her paws and rear after as needed. Within the duration of her pet sitting, Maya also graciously agreed to take Nikki to the groomers. Nikki is an older dog who doesn't interact with people other than my mother much, however, she seemed to take a liking to Maya during their time together. Throughout the sitting, Maya was very communicative and transparent, even sending me pictures to show my mother periodically. She was very receptive and professional through it all. It is evident she showed Nikki great care and was respectful of our guidelines and needs. Maya is an amazing person and pet lover!”

Sarah O.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to provide a reference for my daughter Sarah. From a young age, Sarah has shown a deep love and commitment to animals, especially dogs. She has spent her life caring for and walking dogs, developing a unique bond with each one. Notably, she has had the pleasure of walking and caring for Ogie, a 15-year-old Irish Wheaten Terrier. Her experience with Ogie, who required special attention due to his age, highlights her ability to cater to the needs of dogs of all ages and temperaments. Her patience, reliability, and understanding of dog behavior make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a dedicated dog walker. I have witnessed her nurturing nature firsthand, and I am confident that she will provide exceptional care and companionship to every dog she walks. I wholeheartedly recommend [Daughter's Name] for her dog walking services on Rowear. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]”

Annette B.
“It’s rare to find someone as naturally attentive and caring with animals as Annette. From the moment she met my dog, there was an instant sense of trust and comfort between them. Annette is patient, calm, dependable and treats every dog with love and respect, even my dog who's difficult due to past emotional trauma and abuse. She is incredibly responsible — always on time, detail-oriented, and proactive about each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s administering medication, keeping up with routines, or just making sure pets feel loved and secure, Annette handles it all with genuine care. I’ve seen how my dog light up when she arrives, and it’s clear it feels safe and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for difficult or disabled dogs.”
